3 Claims.

rlihis invention relates 'to concrete. building structures such as dwelling houses-and the like and has special reference to concrete structures in which much of the'structure is precast. s One important object of the invention is to improve the construction of concrete buildings by providing precast members adapted to take the place of the expensive wooden or metal mold forms commonly used in erecting such structures. A second important object of the invention is to provide an improved concrete building structure having precast structural elements of novel and improved construction.

A third important object of the invention is to up provide, in such a structure, a novel and improved arrangement of precast concrete members adapted to form molds for the poured concrete part of the structure and toremain in place as efficient elements of the structure when the building is completed.

With the above and other objects in view, as will be presently apparent, the invention consists in general of certain novel details of construction and combinations of pans hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically claimed. y

In the accompanying drawings like characters of referencev indicate like parts in theseveral views, and: f

Figure l is a perspective view, partly kin section, showing a portion of a building under construction in accordance with this invention.

Figure 2 is .a perspective view of a precast open ended pan or channel adaptedfor use asa form.y in floor construction, this channel being espe-V cially for use in constructing the lower oor.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of a second type of precast concrete panadaptedfor use in form.-v

ing ceiling, roofs and the like. f t

Figure 4 is a perspective view of a precast concrete double stud used in exterior and other thick walls in the improved structure.

Figure 5 is a perspective view. f a window framing arrangement of precast concrete.c

' notches .it of the columns.

Figure 6 is a perspective view of 'a precast contended. to provide a number of such footings l spaced at suitable intervals. On each of the footings it there is provided a column i2 having vertical reinforcing it which extends below the column and. enters the footing l0 to anchor the o column firmly to the footing. These columns are provided at their upper ends with V-shaped notches it to receive and support a girder beam l5 having al V-shaped under side to fit in the The usual reinforc- 10 lng it yis provided for this girder beam.l The' girder beams i5 constitute` the sills of the build ing. These parts may be constructed as precast concrete parts or forms may be erected in place and the concrete poured therein.

At spaced intervals along the beams i5 there are erected precast concrete double studs which are each formed of a pair of concrete posts il having tie bars i8 extending between the posts il with their ends cast` inthe posts.

and wires 2t are embedded in one of the posts and. project therefrom inwardly of the building to form means whereby metal lath may be secured to the posts. The lower ends of the double studs 25 rest on the top of the girder beams l5.

For the lower floor pans or channels 2l are supported on suitable temporary blocking these pans lbeing laterally spaced and the spaces between the pans being temporarilyclosed at the bottom. 3@ Reinforcing rods 22 are run'through theseispaces and a concrete floor 22 is now poured. This poured concrete floor will surround the lower ends of the double studs and hold them in place and the concrete which fills' the spaces between the' y35 `pans will form small reinforced beams or purlins 2t. A' further concrete ledge 25 may be poured. on top of the girder beams l5 to surroundthe lower ends of the double studs il and prevent any lateral movement of the lower ends of said 40 studs. Thus an. efficient means is provided to rmly anchor the studs to the floors. y

Resting on the upper ends of the double studs for this floor are girder beams 26 having reinforcing 2l. These beams are each provided on 45 its inner face with a shoulder 28 whereon. may rest the end wall 29 of a pan 30 having closed ends. The pans 30 are spaced like the pans 2l and the spaces are temporarily closed at the bottom. Inthese spaces are arranged reinforcing rods 3.0.

On top of the girder beam '26 is erected a'second set of double studs il and this oor\3l is then poured tosurround the lower ends of the second set of studs.

LOIlgitlJ.- 20 dlnal reinforcing i9 extends through these posts for 'the purpose specified.

If the girder beams are cast in place it is preferable that the floors be poured before the beams have set so that the floor and its beams will form an integral concrete structure.

Obviously each succeeding oor, if the house is more than one story high, will be constructed in like manner. It is also to be noted that the pans 29 may be either plain or ornamental so that the ceiling formed by these pans can be made to suit the architectural requirements in appearance.

It will be noted that this double stud and girder construction provides an ampleair space in the outer building Walls and that this wall space is closed at the top and bottom of each story so that rats, mice and other vermin cannot work their way up in the walls.

In Figure 6 is illustrated a single precast concrete stud 32 having reinforcing 33.

In Figure 5 is illustrated a window framing in which double studs 34 are cut away at the window space so that a sill 35 and lintel 3S may be inserted.

, Figure 7 shows the framing of an interior parnot, therefore, desired to confine the invention to the exact structure here shown but it is wished to include all structures which come within the scope of the appended claims.

Whatv is claimed, is:

1. In a concrete building structure, a beam, a series oi precast concrete studs resting on the beam and projecting upwardly therefrom, and a concrete oor resting on the beam and surrounding the lower ends of said studs.

2. In a concrete building, a girder beam, a series of spaced double studs including a pair of spaced precast concrete posts and tie rods having their ends embedded in the posts and spanning the space between the posts, said double studs each being equal in width to the beam, said studs resting on said beam, and poured concrete covering the top of the beam and surrounding the lower ends of the studs.
